The Courting of Mary

1911 · 10 min
6.0 / 10 · TMDB

Mary the tomboy, and Owen, the sportsman, have an equal aversion to the opposite sex. Meeting at the trout stream one day, Owen orders Mary off his side of the stream, where she has comfortably ensconced herself. But alas! Cupid has not lost his opportunity and the die is cast. Mary's uncle, although seemingly severe, has a tenderness for an interesting spinster of uncertain age and plans to get Mary married off at the behest of the spinster lady.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic situational comedy on the contrast between declared aversion to romance and its inevitable triumph. It relies entirely on silent pantomime to convey the characters' stubbornness and budding affection.

What lingers after viewing is a charming vignette about prejudices melting before simple human connection, packaged in the format of early short cinema. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: James Kirkwood
